SC-3668 Parking Assessment REV A

2. Customers using other modes of transport such as pedestrians or cyclists to access the site and
   purchase items other than fuel; and
3. Vehicles travelling to and parking on the site specifically to purchase items other than fuel.

In determining a reasonable split of these non-fuel related transaction scenarios the following points
have been considered:

   The neighborhood surrounding the service station is dominated by permanent and holiday residential
    accommodation type land uses, which are located within a reasonable walking or cycling distance of
    the service station; and
   It is reasonable to suggest that for anyone travelling through the area in a vehicle (who is not looking
    to purchase fuel) more attractive options for food and incidental groceries may be available, such as
    the numerous cafes and eateries and the nearby shopping centre 500m to the west. The point being
    that in the context of the locality, a service station will not be a significant generator of non-fuel
    related vehicle trips.

It would therefore be realistic to assume that a high percentage of non-fuel related transactions would
be from scenarios 1 and 2. For the purposes of this assessment, it is conservatively assumed that non-
fuel transactions are evenly split (50%/50%) between non-vehicle (scenarios 1 and 2) and vehicle
customers (scenario 3).

It is therefore calculated that during the peak sales hour there will be 23 non-fuel transactions to vehicle
customers that will require usage of the designated onsite vehicle parking bays, as follows:

(68 sales) x (44.25% non-fuel sales) x (50% vehicle customers) = 15 veh per peak hour that are entering
the site, not purchasing fuel and therefore utilising the onsite car parking.

It is also conservatively assumed that the turnaround time for a non-fuel related sale at the service
station is 10 minutes. This is considered conservatively long as no food is made to order on the premises
and there is not a large floor area of goods to browse through. Of the 7 designated parking bays
available for customer usage (assuming 2 of the 9 bays are occupied by staff) there will be 6 x 10 minute
parking periods for each of the 7 available parking bays per hour, totaling 42 available 10 minute parking
periods per hour for the site.

For the purposes of this assessment the peak hour car parking utilisation will be analysed by assessing
the available 10 minute parking periods throughout the peak sales hour. The 7 available car parking
bays provide a combined 42 possible 10 minute parking periods over the peak hour, (assuming 2 of the
9 bays are occupied by staff). As previously calculated there will be 15 potential 10 minute customer
uses of the available car parks through the peak sales hour, therefore the utilisation rate of the car parks
= 15 / 42 = 36%.

It is therefore the finding of this first principle car parking analysis that the proposed redevelopment of
the service station site includes sufficient onsite parking, as the typical peak hour utilisation rate of the
“customer” parking bays provided is calculated at 36%.
